Tamiya chrome parts f##k

[civic83]

Anyone else have issues with tamiya chrome parts? When I bought my globeliner the parts tree with the visor was scratched all to crap, the visor was totally unusable. I email tamiya Canada ( borgfeldt ) and never received a response. Finally I just bought a new tree, it's not that it was alot of money but it was kind of disappointing on a 400+ dollar kit.

Skip ahead a few weeks, I get my box trailer kit and the wheel fender tree is scratched up, not as bad as the globe visor but it still sucks, once again on an almost 400$ kit.

I've built and owned probably 25+ tamiya kits over the last 20 years and never had issues, but then again not many of them had much , if any chrome on them.

Just had to get that off my chest, think it really sucks having to buy 10 or 20 dollars worth or replacement parts on a brand new kit!
